Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

"Raising a clean bank and returning to the public are the same thing.

When local officials levy money, they will add this additional levy according to the loss when casting money.

Call it fire money,

When expropriating rice grain, in order to reduce the loss of rice grain being eaten by rats in the warehouse,

We also need to levy sparrow consumption,

The most troublesome thing is that the amount of consumption envy is all determined by the local officials themselves.

This gave local officials the opportunity to do their best, and undoubtedly increased the burden on the people.

It caused complaints among the people. "

Lao Zhu's brows sank, he naturally knew about the matter of returning to the public.

However, I didn't expect it to be this serious.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first succeeded to the throne, he made frequent private visits in micro-services to understand the actual situation of the people.

But in recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang's age is getting older and his health is getting worse,

The visits in the past few years are nothing more than this time in Wudi.

But Xu Da and Song Zan are the Dukes of the state and the magistrates,

They are also high-ranking officials.

Naturally, the local suffering is not well understood,

Furthermore, the common people who were expropriated and envied were not courageous enough to sue the emperor for tax collection.

Maybe they have the possibility of success, but their family will definitely be cleaned up badly,

Therefore, they could only swallow their anger.

"So what I think is, it's better to just change the money that is wasting money from surtaxes to formal taxes,

Then, the excess tax will be used as money to raise money and distributed to officials to prevent them from showing their cards in the local area at will.

For the taxation of the people, it is appropriate to reduce it by [-]%.

In this way, even if the tax on consumption is increased,

Their tax share is also the same as usual. "

The sky was getting white, Liu Xiu had been talking all night before he knew it,

However, the reform of officials' salaries was finally made clear.

Liu Xiu let out a long sigh,

"This is the whole of the official salary reform."

Chapter 292

"That's all about bureaucratic reform."

Liu Xiu looked at the whitening sky in the east and murmured,

Everyone heard the words, and after listening, there was still a feeling in their hearts that was still unsatisfactory.

Liu Xiu's reform of officials' salaries is like a big wave hitting the shore, like a big bell,

Still in the hearts of everyone for a long time can not be calmed down.

Regarding the reform of officials' salaries, Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest scruples are,

Worried that officials will grow greedy, and over time, they feel that raising their salaries is a matter of course.

And the heart of greed, once opened, is very terrifying,

No matter how much treasure is used, it is difficult to bridge the gap!

but,

Liu Xiu's design on performance commission has won Zhu Yuanzhang's mind,

It can be said to be the finishing touch in the whole reform plan!

Officials are like working donkeys, and the carrots fed to the donkeys are still in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

If they want to make more money, they have to work more. Give them this way,

It can also give most officials who want to stand up and take risks for corruption, one more choice.

Zhu Yuanzhang can completely let officials do more work by assigning tasks, and use them like cattle and horses.

Moreover, when those officials who are bad, see some officials live a good life through hard work,

How could it not be rolled together?

It can be said that this trick,

It will directly make Daming's officialdom run into the era of great introversion!

Besides, there is no need for Liu Xiu to say too much about things that are too detailed. Zhu Yuanzhang just needs Liu Xiu to give him a direction.

At this time, Lao Zhu naturally had a whole set of plans in his mind.

Liu Xiu's plan is the more he thinks about it, the better. The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help nodding his head again and again, making up his mind and saying,

"Do it! This has to be done right away!"

Song Zan and Xu Da couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, their eyes were full of horror,

Their Liu Xiu's method is certainly very good, but what they didn't expect was that His Majesty would value it so much!

Because it's one thing to look good, another to do it!

What's more, the reform of officials involved in the fate of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, His Majesty has already attached great importance to it!

However, a trace of relief flashed in Xu Da's eyes again,

He followed Zhu Yuanzhang from the very beginning, and he can survive until now because he regards Zhu Yuanzhang as the only heaven,

From the beginning to the end, I only listened to the orders of Zhu Yuanzhang alone,

Countless times of life and death also proved Xu Da's choice,

There is absolutely no problem with what His Majesty is going to do. If you don't understand it for a while, it is because your knowledge is not in place.

Take the case of Hu Weiyong as an example. At that time, no one could have imagined that

Your Majesty's ultimate goal is to abolish the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State,

After a long time passed, Xu Da really understood this point,

After figuring out this festival, Xu Da's awe of Zhu Yuanzhang climbed to the extreme!

Therefore, no matter what orders Zhu Yuanzhang gave in the future, Xu Da only had two words,

implement!

Xu Da asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to start promoting it in Daming immediately?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head,

"I haven't decided whether it will work or not. How can we just do it with Quan Daming?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, he looked at Song Zan,

Song Zan understood immediately, his hands and feet were numb, and tentatively said,

"Your Majesty, you don't mean to start from Wudi first..."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "That's right!"

Song Zan's face showed bitterness when he heard the words, but he was completely unwilling in his heart.

It's definitely a thankless chore,

Because, His Majesty is full of expectations for this matter, and there is only one choice to be made!

That is to say, Song Zan accomplished this matter, it should be done,

But if you don't do it well, you have to take the blame!

Song Zan wanted to open his mouth, and struggled a bit more,

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said directly,

"If you don't want to do it, we'll transfer you back to Beijing and send someone else to do it."

Song Zan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with resentful eyes, and said helplessly,

"Your Majesty, I want to do it."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said playfully, "We don't like to force others, if you don't want to do it, just tell us!"

Xu Da immediately lowered his head when he heard this, and suppressed a smile,

If His Majesty doesn't like to force others, then I'm afraid there will be no one in the world who forces others!

Song Zan felt helpless, but he could only forcefully smile and say,

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do it."

"Then we feel that you are not happy?"

Song Zan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying,

"Happy, very happy!"

"Hahahahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily, "I've been talking about it all night, let's all go back and rest."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's radiant look, Liu Xiu thought to himself,

An old man in his 50s can still have such energy after staying up all night.

It's hard to imagine how crazy old Zhu was when he was young!

"Yes, Your Majesty."
